One Piece

Next month, Bandai will release One Piece, a Game Boy Advance action title based upon the Shonen Jump comic series as well as the anime that's currently airing on Cartoon Network.

The game, like the show, follows D. Luffy and the Straw Hat pirate crew as they quest off into the East Blue Sea in search of One Piece, the coveted and famous treasure. Monkey's quite the nimble hero and the GBA game will put his unique stretchy Gum Gum abilities to use.

The GBA game has been developed by Dimps, most known for their work on the Sonic Advance series and Sonic Rush DS for Sonic Team. The team's One Piece game design is a brawler-style action title with twelve different enemy types, multiple branching paths to extend replayability, upgradeable moves to discover, and unlockable mini-games intersperced within the action.

We'll have a full review of Bandai's One Piece when it ships in mid-September. Have a look at some new screenshots in our One Piece media page.
